(For #8 -9) Choose ONE of the application problems below and solve it using a system of 2 equations. Remember - word problem, word answer.
8. The high school FFA is selling fruit. Together, Kay and Ayan sell a total of 25 boxes. Kay sells 13 less than Ayan.
How many boxes does each girl sell?
Define your variables:
X =
Y =
boxes.
boxes, and Ayan sold
Kay sold

Kay sold 6 boxes and Ayan sold 19 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boxes sold by Kay and

Let y be the number of boxes sold by Ayan

Then according to given statements, the equations will be:

Putting x = y-13 in equation 1

Putting y = 19 in equation 2

So we get x=6 and y=19

Hence,

Kay sold 6 boxes and Ayan sold 19 boxes

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
